Nice post. I like your point about not limiting your collecting to a specific, to the numbers grade, but focusing more on eye appeal.

 

What a fantastic thread and I am so impressed with your approach and rationale for your collection. You echo many themes I've taken with my type collection.

I wish I had your perspective when I was 25 years old long ago and not waited until late adulthood to return to the hobby. Well done!

 

@Jmad and Catbert,

Thanks for the kind words. I hope as many people can enjoy this thread as I did putting the set together.

 

Congrats!

 

That is a great accomplishment for anybody let alone a collage guy. I can remember how broke I was when I was in collage, let's just say that it was a good thing that Taco Bell had a $0.59 menu.

Keep updating us on any new pieces and thanks for the compliment.

 

Thanks Kirk. I've definitely been lucky to have great family support that has kept me from being a "typical poor college student". I've also always been really good at handling what money I do have so that has helped with my hobby. I'll be paying my dues sleeping on the floor and eating noodles soon lol. I'm fine with it though as I go off to grad school. I've never been scared of hard work. And yes I'll keep everyone updated but things will be slowing down, maybe 1-2 coins a year from now on as I update the box. Thanks again for inspiring me as I got back into the hobby. I've really enjoyed it.

 

Wonderful collection of coins! Congrats

 

Nice coins! How's Tallahassee? The same I'm guessing. I graduated from there in 2003.

 

Thanks Geoff,

Tallahassee is nice and sunny today. It's funny, in highschool so many complained how they hated it here. The family is from a small town in Missouri so we've enjoyed it. Perspective.

 

Nicely stated.

 

I just wanted to give one last shout out to everyone thanking them for the praise and help over the past couple years. As I enter this next phase of both life and collecting I probably won't be as active but I will be around. Again, thanks everyone for everything. I know I don't honestly know any of you but you really have been a nice outlet for when life gets crazy. Again, thanks for everything and consider this my final word on this project.
